A FIRE devastated Blackwood Youth Centre in the early hours today.
Flames ripped through the centre in Woodbine Road at around 1.50am, leaving just the building’s distorted shell standing.
Firefighters spent around six hours dousing the flames and police are currently investigating the cause, which is not being treated as suspicious.
No-one was injured in the fire.
Hundreds of youngsters used the centre each week for youth groups, community projects and exams.
